application.css not being served as an asset

Question

EDIT 4, 5 and 6

8 hours in, any more ideas are welcome :) Maybe this bug is already known and solved, but I get the behaviour I described in edit 2&

Answer 1

I had this issue the other day and solved it by editing the production.rb file

config.assets.compress = true
config.assets.compile = true
config.assets.digest = true
config.assets.initialize_on_precompile = false

Are the asset settings I ended up with. I precompile my assets, while deploying with capistrano.

Before I edited the asset settings, I had exactly the same issue. The .css was being requested and was compiled into my public/assets folder but the server couldnt find the files.
